Well, as evident by this photo, I strolled out into the road and at 34 (long) paces, my SmartTop function as designed, the windows operate AND the TOP will function open or closed. This was from a distance of approximately 100 feet. I don't know if it will operate from farther away, and I actually didn't expect it to operate from this distance. I knew I had operated the top from a good distance away, just never bothered to determine that distance. Early 2012 model.

But you have smart top! We were talking about CA stock. I am not surprised to see smart top fixes that limitation as well.
